Wheel Alignment in Toms River, NJ
Alignments to correct pulling, off-center steering and uneven tire wear.
New Jersey roads are hard on suspension and steering. One good pothole on Lakewood Road can knock your alignment out and start scrubbing the edge off a brand-new set of tires.
An alignment brings your camber, caster and toe angles back into the manufacturer's specification so the vehicle tracks straight, steers correctly and wears its tires evenly.
Signs you need an alignment
- The vehicle pulls left or right on a flat road
- Your steering wheel sits off-center when driving straight
- Uneven or feathered tire wear, especially on the inside or outside edge
- The steering feels loose or wanders
- You just installed new tires
- You recently had suspension or steering work done, or hit a serious pothole
What an alignment service includes
- Pre-alignment suspension and steering inspection
- Tire condition and pressure check
- Camber, caster and toe measurement
- Adjustment back to manufacturer specification
- Steering wheel centering
- Before and after readings explained to you
Wheel Alignment questions
Should I get an alignment with new tires?
It is strongly recommended. Installing new tires on a vehicle that is out of alignment can ruin the tread pattern within a few thousand miles.
How often should I have my alignment checked?
Once a year is a reasonable habit for local driving, plus any time you notice pulling, crooked steering or unusual tire wear.
Can worn parts affect an alignment?
Yes. Worn tie rods, ball joints or bushings must be replaced first, otherwise the alignment will not hold.
